Embodiment Construction
[0047]FIG. 2 illustrates the ultimount drum design and structure of some embodiments. In differing from drum designs and structures of the prior art, the ultimount couples the drumhead to the drum shell in a manner that does not hinder resonance of the drum shell and in a manner that isolates the non-sound producing supporting framework from the sound producing drumhead and shell. In so doing, the ultimount provides several advantages over drum designs and structures of the prior art. First, the ultimount provides a richer and fuller sounding drum because the ultimount does not hinder resonance of the drum shell during play. Second, the ultimount eliminates undesired sound and distorted sound from the overall sound profile of the drum because of the isolation of the structural framework from the sound producing elements of the drum. Third, the ultimount allows for the manufacture of entirely new drum shells because the ultimount removes extraneous forces that are imposed on the drum...

Abstract
Provided are interchangeable bearing edge rings for drum shells assembled with traditional lug holders. Different bearing edge rings can be inserted in between the drum shell and the drumhead to change the sound of the drum during play. Some embodiments provide a modified drum shell with top and bottom rims that have a groove. Bearing edge rings with complimentary slits can be inset in the grooves in order to change the drum bearing edge and sound as desired. Alternatively, the bearing edge rings can have support extensions instead of the slits for coupling to unmodified drum shells. The support extensions extend downwards from either side of the ring and are separated by a distance equal to the width of the drum shell rim. The support extensions straddle the drum shell rim to retain the position of bearing edge ring over the drum shell rim.
